The factthnt‘the gas engine can be expanded almost infinitely seems to be demonstrated as plants In this country with engines of 40,000 horse power, 31.000 horse and 21.000 horse powur are already In operation. The gas engine takes up about onefourth the Space of the steam engine of the saute power, dispenses with the boilers, the coal bins and bunkers and so saves space as well as a costly material. Pro- ducer gas can be made from many, cheap commodities and will work as well as any other when properly ap- ’ plied. It has been pretty cold “down East" this winter.

Farmers Turn Out to Fight Flames at Turn-of-Rlver. The woods In Turn-of-River caught fire about 5 o‘clock Monday afternoon. and for more than two hours the fire burned over an area of 150 acres. it weaphecked at 7:30. It. was the most serious fire in the woods that occurred in this section in several years, and would have done much more damage had it not been for the work of the fire wardens and their assistants. The fire was reported to Selectman Houghton by Fire Warden T. V. Stev- ens. Mr. Houghton told Stevens, who lives in Long Ridge, to get on the job at once, and then he sent word to Deputy Fire Warden George Knick- erbocker. who lives in Newfield no one, Springdale, and John C. Camp- bell. who lives in Scofieldtown. Mr. Houghton directed the warden and the. deputies to pick up till the men. they could find and tucklc the fire as soon as they could get there. Mean- while all the available men about Turn-of-lllvcr were on the job (they get 15 cents an hour for it) and before olng there was it little army of fire fighters busy. Mr, iloughion didn't know how many men were at. work. but he will know pretty soon. because they will all show up for their pay. Half the expense of putting out a forest fire is home by the town, and the rest is shared‘evenly between the county and the slate. . TAKING CENSUS OF CUBA.

April 24.——-The gratuity bill was recommitted to the committee on legislative expenses yesterday sf1 ternoon, after Senator Judson had add- ed an amendment providing for com- pensation of 8300 to the clerks after the session closed for extra labor in indexing bills. The discussion throughout was iivc- ly. Senators Walsh. liceuey. Atwalcr illlil Judson expressing themselws In favor of the hill, Senator Luther de- fending the bill ill the absence of Senator Farrel. Mr. Luther first ex- plained the object of the bill and then went on to say that the giving of grill.» titties was against the statutes find that tho pusage of the bill was not only desired by himself, but by llie public at large. Senator McGovern objected to the bill and‘aiso objected to the bill going over‘ until Senator Farrel could be present as suggested by Senator Dono van. lie said that at the last session on a resolution in the senate to give doorkeepers and messengers extra compensation there was a tie vote which was broken by Lieutenant Gov- ernor Woodrnff. who presided. who voted for the resolution. The senator pointed this out as an inconsistency with the governor's present attitude. He also cited the instances of the caucuses for United States senators to which the attaches were compelled to work many hours extra. and under such it bill as the one under discus; slop the attaches could not be compen- sated for their extra work. i if the resolution was passed, said Senator McGovern, the senate could not pass a measure giving extra pay to those who find honestly earned it. He said he was not frightened by any thing anyone said, no matter what place be occupied. ntid he Was willing to go on record as voting for a men» sure as he thought right. He thought waste who was controlled by the out and say so. His name shouldbo made public and the member expelled. He thought that with twentyoix sena- tors of his own political party in the body the governor was sorely tried to be obliged to point to the senator from the Twenty-sixth (Donovan) as his defender. If the matter of investigat- ing lobbying which the governor has spoken so much about was brought about it will be necessary to get a hall to accommodate those who would have to attend and the expense could not be met if the resolution under dis- cussion was passed. He said it was the first time since‘llliil that an at- tempt was made to circumscribe the power of the senate. He said the bill was introduced on its merits and should be considered and disposed of. He moved to recommii. the hill. Senator Chaim went into the history of. gratuities at some length. showing that payment of such was ili vlolnllon of the law. There came other speak- ers.-durlng which Senator Walsh said he was in favor of the measure long before the governor's message was read. and he was surprised that the governor's message referred to the subject, as four years ago Governor Woodruif voted for gratuities. and two years ago dissolved a tie by voting in favor. Four wears ago Senator Walsh said he had voted for‘graiuities. but since then he had become convinc; ed that the whole matter was wrong. "If I was a traitor‘once.” said Senator Walsh, “there arb those who have been traitors twice. 1 voted before as i thought right and I shall vote again as I think is right. and not be- cause of any demagoguespeech. The state has come to that point where gratuities should be, stopped." The senator saidi‘he hoped its would be quoted correctly. and he would have had a stonographcr to bnv ,. writ- ten out his speech had he thmght. it over. “i never wrote a speech in my life." said the senator. "and i never read one that someone also wrote. and if i do I hope some one will tell me how to pronounce Words with‘whlch i am not familiar." Shortly after this the bill was re. committed.
